CSIRO Research Field Station, Department of Animal Nutrition, Adelaide, 1936-1978, near Robe, where work contributed to a cure for scabby wool which affected sheep in coastal areas internationally. This therefore is a highly significant if unpretentious building! (Photograph: Geoff Speirs)

The Herbig Family Tree, Springton. Johann Friedrich Herbig lived here, and from 1858 with his wife and family (Photograph: Paul Wallace).

The remains of Jacka’s Brewery at Melrose. The Jackas built a small brewery and began brewing in Melrose in 1877. In 1893 they bought Marshall’s flour mill and converted it for brewing. The building was gutted in a fire in 1924, was re-instated and brewing continued until 1934 (Photograph Alison Painter).
